Kenyan Blogger Party in London and Nairobi
June 1, 2005 7 Comments
I know that many bloggers like to be anonymous on account of their sick thoughts and libellous posts. Be that as it may, I am going to host a small party for Kenyan bloggers at one of my palatial homes in London during the course of July or early August. The point of this meeting shall be simple: to distract me from more important tasks, provide me an excuse to cook coconut milk yams, okra and honeyed roast lamb (hope there’s a cookbook for this) and allow me to generally revel in strangers. Then, if I have the energy, I shall propose a black and white talkies film fest in Nairobi when I get there in late summer. Knowing myself, I shall run out of enthusiasm for this idea in a few hours; but you must admit that it’s not too bad, aye? Of course I get the feeling that a lot of the power of blogging is the opportunity to stay ‘undercover’, so I will not be surprised if only the socially desperate and deranged take up this offer.
That’s a wonderful idea & I hope fellow bloggers take you up on this one of a kind offer:)
Dates?
No, not do I HAVE a date, or can I bring one, I mean what dates were you thinking about for this?
damn! you beat me to it. I was about to put up a post suggesting a Kenyan blogger meetup in Nai. inlate July/ early august.
So:
1. I hope we can join forces, and 2. perhaps the fact that someone else is interested will sustain your motivation.
Let’s do it.
Sounds like a great idea. Count me in, at least for the UK meet up.
oh,…wish i could come, can someone send me pics…???
I wish I could come but I’m stuck in the wrong part of the world. A U.S. meetup (east coast) would be nice.
Well I can’t say that your politics impress me much, but I’m willing to overlook them for the meal you described, Yum Yum.–>
